Sorry for the wait everyone! I've been really busy with school and other extracurricular activities. But here's another chapter! Sorry it's a little short!
Special thanks to howlingwolf456 for helping me with the plot!
EMILY POV
I was the first one to walk into Rudy's Lab. I could see him hunched over and working on something.
"Rudy?" I called out.
He looked a bit startled, but relaxed when he saw me. "Emily, love." He gave me a little smile. "So good to see you."
I stepped forward and gave him a tight squeeze. Rudy hugged me back and let me go. "It's good to see you, too." I smiled.
"Is everything alright?" He asked. "Legs? Arm?" He lowered his voice.
"Yes, yes. Everything's fine." I looked behind me to see Dorian and Kennex walking in behind me. "We just need some help." I took a step back.
"Anything you need." Rudy offered.
"Is there any other way to track the MX-43 models besides the GPS tracker?" Kennex asked.
Rudy looked stunned and annoyed. "Well of course there is."
"Great. What is it?" Kennex relaxed a bit.
"I don't know personally." Rudy looked disappointed. "But," he perked up, "the creator of the MX models would know. His name is Jason Harris."
"Where is he?" Dorian asked.
"No one knows. He went off the grid 25 years ago." Rudy explained.
"We'll get his background. Find out where he is." Emily ordered.
The trio moved to leave.
"If need any help undercover, I'm always available." Rudy offered.
"I'll keep in touch." Emily turned and gave him a quick smile.
GENERAL POV
Emily, Dorian, and John arrived back at the precinct. Emily sat down at her newly assigned desk, ready to work.
John started giving out commands. "Dorian, I want you to search through bank records and statements. Emily, check on any family living near by to Harris. I'll retrace his last steps."
Emily rolled her eyes and started typing on her computer. Dorian was standing still, blue lights crawling across his face, while he looked at Harris' bank records. John was at his computer opposite of Emily's.
"Harris' main account has remained open with a significant balance left, but there has not been a single deposit made in 25 years." Dorian reported.
"Rudy was right. This guy just fell off the grid without a trace." John sounded a bit annoyed.
Emily hit enter on her keyboard and received an interesting piece of information. "I've got something."
"What is it?" John asked, eager to know.
Dorian put a hand on Emily's desk, leaning in.
"He has a son, David Harris. He's 21, attends college in New Jersey, and takes the subway. He lives there as well. Small note: he owns a firearm." Emily explained.
"Ugh, New Jersey?" John sighed.
"It's our best shot. Let's go." Emily stood up.
"Road trip!" Dorian quietly exclaimed to John as he rolled his eyes.
Emily had gotten to the car first, followed by Dorian. So, through some silent rule, John was stuck in the back of the car.
Emily was doing about 15 mph above the speed limit, her foot pressed to the gas. She had the radio on, her fingers tapping to the beat on the steering wheel.
Dorian noticed her interest in the song. He started softly singing.
Emily smiled and looked at Dorian. She started softly singing along as well.
John, in the backseat, rolled his eyes.
They both slowly got louder, Emily's soprano voice perfectly complimenting Dorian's baritone voice.
Finishing the song in perfect harmony, Emily smiled. "I never knew you could sing so well!" Emily complimented.
"Thank you. You were perfect." Dorian complimented her.
"No, I wouldn't say that." Emily shook her head.
"I mean it." Dorian insisted.
"Girls, girls." John interrupted. "You're both pretty." He paused crossing his arms. "Now can we get on with this road trip?" He huffed.
"Just for that," Emily smirked, "I'm going to go at the speed limit." She eased her foot off the gas, turning up the radio.
John groaned and held his head in his hands.
Emily and Dorian started singing a duet again.
After another torturous half hour for John, the three arrived at the college that David Harris attended.
Well there it is! I hoped you like it! I can't guarantee when I will post the next chapter. Sorry!
(Just to clarify, Rudy has helped Emily in her transition with her synthetics, so he know all about it.)
I hope you enjoyed!
